Treat your ingredients with care...

• Maple syrup — Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor.
• Pork loin — Make sure to trim any excess fat from the pork loin before cooking to prevent it from becoming too greasy.

Tips & Tricks

• For an extra smoky flavor, you can add a pinch of smoked sea salt to the glaze.
• If you prefer a spicier kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
• Make sure to let the pork rest before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute and keep the meat tender.
• Serve the pork roll with roasted vegetables or a side of mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
• Leftovers can be sliced and used in sandwiches or salads for a delicious next-day meal.

Serving advice

Slice the Homestyle Pork Roll into thick slices and serve it on a platter. Drizzle some of the remaining maple glaze over the top for an extra burst of flavor. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or thyme, for a touch of freshness.

Presentation advice

Arrange the sliced pork roll on a bed of vibrant greens, such as arugula or spinach, to add color and freshness to the plate. Drizzle the maple glaze over the top and sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds for an elegant touch.
